The Two Seals

By Delwin Rees Bachner

By Delwin Rees Bachner

While o'er the sepulcher strict soldiers keep Close vigils, angels wing from Heaven's throne By whose sword-rays the Roman guard are mown Unto the ground like tares that sickles reap, And piled in a disheveled random heap; The seal is broken and the cumbrous stone Removed. Ah! well the dragon might have known He could not keep God in eternal sleep. The fiend who made our Lord bleed bitter tears And sealed at last His corpse within a tomb, Unconscious, spiritless, three solemn days, Must soon be sealed himself a thousand years Within the earth he wrecked, until his doom, When, like dry stubble, all his frame will blaze.
